From 9aa18f61f297fcb2ee0cbd4be0772607745274b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stan Lo Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2022 00:53:28 +0000 Subject: [ruby/irb] Allow disabling autocompletion with `IRB_USE_AUTOCOMPLETE=false` (https://github.com/ruby/irb/pull/469) * Allow using IRB_USE_AUTOCOMPLETE=false to disable autocompletion Currently, the only 2 ways to disable autocompletion are: 1. Create `.irbrc` and set `IRB.conf[:USE_AUTOCOMPLETE] = false` 2. Add the `--noautocomplete` flag when using the `irb` executable Both of them are less convenient than setting a env var and are lesser known to devs. And given the number of problems the autocompletion has (see #445), I think we should allow disabling it with a simple `IRB_USE_AUTOCOMPLETE=false`. * Mention some env var configs in the README --- README.md | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) (limited to 'README.md') diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 35ef2d9e89..c17b901728 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -54,6 +54,15 @@ see [Building Ruby](doc/contributing/building_ruby.md) https://www.ruby-lang.org/ +## Configuration + +### Environment Variables + +- `NO_COLOR`: Assigning a value to it disables IRB's colorization. +- `IRB_USE_AUTOCOMPLETE`: Setting it to `false` disables IRB's autocompletion. +- `EDITOR`: Its value would be used to open files by the `edit` command. +- `IRBRC`: The file specified would be evaluated as IRB's rc-file. + ## Documentation - [English](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/index.html) -- cgit v1.2.1
